Some of my favorite, recent additions have been the Photon Freedom light that is always avalible around my neck...
The "puffy" type insulative outer clothing, including...
Montbel Full Side Zip Pants (synthetic)
Cocoon Full Zip Jacket w? hood (synthetic)
and the Villager overboots by NEO.

This is too hard I have lots a nice gear already,practicaly all would be contenders and I also dream lots about the gear I'd like to own and cant really justify purchasing right now.So three ... its too small a number.however I do think the ever evolving creativity and smart ideas this great website and its patrons put forward has to be number one on my list.

Don't know who you're talkin about, but I hope to get out there & hike w/ you some while you're in this neck of the woods!

Hehe - well, I hope she's talking about you b/c I'm only in NC for another 4 days! It's gonna be 1*F at the AF Academy this week and I'm gonna miss it, though!

But I wonder if I can convince the AF to send me to Virginia sometime around the Winter Hang next year...we could ALL hike together then.
